Searching Pintarest

Erotic Hindu icons.
You can meditate before a lovely image.
Google it if you wanna.

The Hindu god of love is Kāma,
firstborn of the primal chaos.
There are Hindu icons

of Kāmadeva riding their parrot Vahana,
with bow and arrows like Cupid.
Google it if you wanna.

Whatever prompt you want to write on,
barefoot poet striking all your matches
(there’s an erotic image

for you). But your lost true lover
returns to you in that momentary flash.
Google Lucius Apuleius if you wanna

read the story, which must repeat as karma—
lime and salt in the erotic shaker—
your own board your best erotic icon
as you surf the Google-Dharma.
